Disinfecting nozzle



B tornia,

gerrnicide is not"desiredeide in a spray tion whe ein like 45 is used todesignate 55 dcl'lecting conc .enoteca sanmartin, or rnenorsco,cerimonia.

Application.

To all -wiiom t muy conce/n v Be it known that l, l'lnc'roiz l`nI..Ln'1'iA, a subject et italy, residing in the city and ,county otSan Francisco and State ol Calihave invented a new and usefulluiprovement in a Disintecting Nozzle, ot' which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to improvements in4 disinfectiug nozzles wherein aliquid `germi- 10 cide is mixed with and projected by water and thevobjects ot luy invention are;

First, to provide animproved nozzle wherein a liquid germicide maybe'inixed `with water and .projected through said 15 nozzle.

Second1 to provide means for mixing a liquid gerinicide with Waterprojected through anozzle without lessening the utility of the nozzlewhen adiuixture ot' said Third, to provide an improved nozzle forprojecting a liquid germicide with water discharged through said nozzleand adapted to he adjusted to project water and germiot' the desiredcharacter and in a mixture ot the desired strength.

I accomplish these and other objects by means of the device disclosed inthe drawings forming a part of the present specificacharacters ofreference are used to designate similar parts throughout saidspecification and drawingsi and in which- Fig. l is a side elevation ofa nozzle disclosing the tubular member for supplying a gerinicide.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the nozzle shown in Fig. l. Fig. 3is an enlarged sectional view of the dispersiug tip.

Fig. i is a cross section ot the tip taken along the line lf-4 ot Fig.in the direction indicated. i

Referring to'the drawings the numeral l in general a nozzle. Centrallylocated within tlu'J nozzle is a tubular member 2 provided at its innerend with an interior threaded portion 3 engaging threads t formed on oneend oi a dispersing tip 6, portions ot the threads 4 heing cut away totorni flattened surfaces 7 providing passages S between said tip 6 andthe inner threaded wall ot the tube Q. the opposite cud o'r' the tip 6is formed a 9 provided with a flattened outer surface ll having a groovel2 torined serves as an additional means ,passages 8, when screwed todrostatic pressure, the dcfiecting cone .creasing the supply ot' Asuitable Valve 18 is provided in the conduit 17 -whcreby the supply ofgermicide may he readily controlle The tip 6, also of controlling thesupply of germicide as the conical deliecting surface 9 serves to limitthe size of the passages 8 and to entirely close said a positionadjacent the end of the tubular member ln use iny inventionoperates as`t'olloivs. rl"he rush et water through the water chaluber 19 ot thcnozzle l causes a fluid germi.- cide, supplied 'troni a suitablecontainer positioned above the level oi' the nozzle, to he drawn throughthe passages 8 between the tubular incmbcr 2 and the tip '6, and mixedwith said water. The mixture is toi-cedv through the nozzle aperture 21by the hyand is iinpinged against 9 which serves to direct the water andgerinicide into a spray. The character ot' the spray may he adjusted bya suitable positioning ot' the cone 9 or by screwing the tip (S toapproximately the desired position and adjusting with the nozzle tip inthe usual manner.

The strength of the resulting mixture of gerinicide and water may bereadily edjusted by increasing or decreasing the supply ot' germicidc,or water, or both as the particulareneeds may require. Thus a heavysupply of germicide with a light .supply of water will. give arelatively strong solution which may be `readily reduced in strength byincreasing the flow germicide.

lt y.1s at once obvious that, in this manner, a` solution "of thegermicide ot the desired strength may he readily and evenly distributcdover the entire surface ot' an object to be treated without causing aharmful excess to be applied to one portion in' order that anotherportion ot' the object may be reached. The adjustment o'spray Irialresit readily adaptable to any character of object of water or by die- Mtlor surface without Waste of germicde and with a maximum effectiveness.

llzivinn` thus described. my invention what l claim es new und desire tosecure by Let ters Patent is- 4 l 1. The comigrinetion with a nozzlecour prising inner and outer easing:Y memhen forming a mixing chamberwithin the forward end thereof, o a tubular member een trally mountedwithm the inner casing and extending outwardly therethrough into themixing chamber for supplying a liquid germicide t-hereinto to he mixedwith water passing therethrough from the inner easing; z dis-persing tipthreaded into the forward end of the tuhulermeinher, said tip extendingoutwardly through the outlet et the chamber and nozzle; flattened sidesformed upon said 'tip to permit the passage oi germieide from thetubular member into the mixingr chamber; and a deflecting cone formedupon the outer end of the tip and positioned outwardlyv adjacent theoutlet ot' the'mixing chamber and nozzle for directing the mixed Waterund Jgermieide 'projected therepast into a spray. i

2. The combination with a nozzle comprisend thereof into the mixingychamber for Sui'iplying. a liquid germivide thereinto tohe mixed withinthe ehnniber with water passing therethrough troni the inner easingineniher; a dispersing -tip threaded into the foi-wurd end ol" thetubular member, said tip extendingT outwardlv through the outlet olt themixing ehaniher and nozzle', flattened sides formed upon bseid tiptopermit the passage oi' gerniieide from the tubular memyher past the tipand into the mixing chumher: and a cone `Formed upon the outer end ofthe tip and normally positioned adjacent the outer side nl' the outletIfrom the ehamher and 'nozzle for directing` the mixed `,erinieide andwater into a spray adapted to he regulated hy adjustment of the outereglsing `member relative to the cone.
